The Ngoni Kingdom, sometimes referred to as the Ngoni Empire or the Kingdom of Ngoni, is a monarchy[2][3] in Southern Africa[4] that started in 1815 when the Ngoni of Malawi broke away from the Zulu Kingdom[1] in South Africa.[5][5][6][7][8][4]

History

M'mbelwa Kingdom is a kingdom that existed before the encounter with Europeans in Malawi. It began shortly after the war with the Zulus[1] in South Africa.[4]

Kings

M'mbelwa I

Mbelwa I was the son of Zwangendaba who married a Swazi woman called Munene. He was born at Mabili in Malawi around 1840.[4]
